ARMSTRONG AND WEIMAN.
They are Believed to be In the Vicinity
Of Tikura.

To-day Sheriff Kinney received a
letter from Deputy Sheriff McPhee,
stating that two men answering the
description of Armstrong and Weiman
had called at the station-house at
Picabo and asked for something to
eat. They we're afoot. This was
Saturday. Frank Anthony also re.
ported to Sheriff Kinney that two
men-who were probably the escaped
Jail birds-we,e at his (Anthony's)
ranch at Tikura yesterday.
Deputy Sheriff McPhee and Charles
Nelson are in that vicinity with a
good team, and Sheriff Kinney does
not doubt that, if these are indeed the
men wanted, Messrs. McPhee and
Nelson will capture them in day or
two.

Deer Greek Ore Shipments Suspended.

The Deer creek mine owners are
badly hampered in their operations,
just at present, by the washing away
of the bridge at the mouth of the
gulch, as they had begun to ship their
accommodations of ore, and intended
to hurry them on to market. Since
the disappearance of the bridge they
have stopped the extraction of ore
until new bridge is thrown across
Wood River, at the point where the
old one stood. In a few days an eff
fort will be made to haul by way of
Gimlet, and if it succeeds the teams
will 60 that way while the new bridge
is building.

THE BIG CREEK PLACERS.

cent Floods.


cent Floods.
The Salt Lake Tribune learns from
a reliable source of disaster to the
Beaverhead Mining Company, operat-
ing on Big creek, fifty miles down the
river from Salmon City. The COM
pany had put in fumes and bitches
and begun their seasons work, when
an unprecedented food came upon
them and washed out all their i'm
provements. The loss is estimated at
$4,000, and if the loss of the seasons
work is counted in, it would foot up
much more. The company spent all
last season and much of the winter
getting ready for placer mining, and
the managers were feeling very en-
thusiastic over their prospects when
the food came. They had about 60
men engaged, but now only few are
employed. The sawmills are busy
cutting lumber to replace the fumes
that we're washed away.

A Big Fish in Wood River.

A six foot sturgeon was observed
trying TO get over the dam at the foot
of Bullion street, yesterday. After
spending half an hour in vain efforts
to proceed up the river, the sturgeon
finally darted back down the stream.
This is much the largest fish ever seen
in Wood River, and it is something
to wonder at that he could have got
SO far from Snake river, the usual
haunt of his kind, with all the obsta-
Giles in the way in the Malad.

The Scarcity Of Lumber.

There is a positive famine of 'lum-
Der on Wood River at present, and
many buildings in course of construc-
ton. in the towns and at the mines,
are delayed in consequence. The
Gold Belt people are especially ham
pered, as they cannot even get tents
to live ia while waiting for lumber,
and they find themselves unable to
work on their properties until they
can secure shelter.

The interstate railway commission has
given an opinion, a summary of which was
published In the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
yesterday, as to the powers of the commits
sion and the intent OF the law. the items
of most interest In the decision are those
that declare that the commission will not
suspend the fourth section except upon
complaint made, and that the railways
must construe the law for themselves and
at their own risk.
The first act of the interstate commission
after its organization was, o che 7th Of
April, to suspend the fourth secnoL (the
long and short haul clause for nun. ,er
of southern railways, upon the request Z
the companies themselves.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, on the Sth
Of April, commenting on this action, said:
The only authority conferred on the com
mission to suspend any part of the law is in
the provisO to the fourth section, and reads as
follows
That upon application to the commission
appointed under the provisions of this act such
common carrier may, IN special cases a6Cr IN
qeStgdtiCn by NE commission, be authorized TO
cbaige less for longer than for shorter dis
tances for the transportation OF passengers or
property
Tho italicised words In the quotation ind-
cato that the committee may have exceeded
its authority In suspending the law prior to the
investigation, which the commission proposes
to make in few weeks. There is no doubt
but what that clause OF the law ought to be
suspended all over the country, but 1t Is quos-
tiouable whether any suspension can be Or
dercd until after investigation.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN now con-
graduates the commission upon having ar
rived, after more than two months study, at
the conclusion which was very apparent to
1t, even before the bill became law, which
it promptly expressed when the first do
cision was made.
The conclusions OF the commission that
carriers, except in the few cases indicated
by them, must construe the law and act at
their own risk, renders 1t very certain that
the railways will make very strict construc-
tion. The penalties are too severe and the
methods OF enforcing them too direct to
admit OF any other course upon the art Of
the carriers.
Five thousand dollars fine for each offe1se,
and the liability to damages to the com
plainant, TO be assessed by jury OF the
vicinage, will be sufficient reasons to pre-
vent any company from charging more for
the short than the long haul.
The commission gives some reasons,
which will not be accepted as sufficient to
justify carrierfor charging less for the long
than the short haul in proportion to the
distance carried. Some of the reasons which
the commission say will not be deemed
sufficient justification for a decreased
rate for the long haul have been declared by
leading railroad companies as so absolutely
necessary TO the transportation Of some
frelghts that, unless admitted, the law
amounted to an absolute prohibition of
their transportation.
Having decided that these are not good
reasons, the result is that the law, instead

Of regulating commerce between the stateS,
prohiJits 1t In some articles.
Unless the roads violate the Law, an
take case to the Supreme Court to test
It's constitutionality In the meantime ren
deriug themselves liable to iunumer,blo
penalties aud actions for damages, the
prices for transportation over long dis
tances will have 10 be made TO conform TO
the prices for the shortest hauls on the line
OF any interstate railway. II twenty-five
cents is charged for transporting barrel of
flour from one depot on the New York Cen
trail railway to another depot, ten miles
distant, then nincty-six times that sum, or
S24, must be charged from Chicago to New
York, or Chauncey NJ. Depew, president Of
the New York Central, is liable to a fine OF
5000 for every barrel transported at less
price.
The last report Of the New York Central
shows that SIS per cent. of its income is on
freight and passengers transported from
points between Buffalo and New York city,
and all this traffic is In the state OF New
York, over which the commission has no
control. or course that road will sacrifice
the 10 per cent. of its business that comes
from beyond the state or raise the prices
rather than lower those in the state. The
Union Pacific has just made report show
ing that only a per cent. Of its income is
from through freight, and It is fact that
on almost every long line the local bust
ness produces much the largest part OF the
income. That fact, now that the law is to
be enforced, means high prices for trans
portation from the west to the seaboard,
and vice versa-that is, high bread and meat
in the east aud south, and high shoes, cloth
ing, and sugar in the west.
But the commission is right. 1t has no
power to suspend the fourth section until
after complaint is made. 1t did wrong In
suspending it, and now Acknowledges it.
And now the trouble will begin. With
this law enforced, 1t will soon take more
than double the quantity Of wheat and
corn at the farm prices to pay a debt that
II did short time since.
